Qualification of the Graduates

This single-subject Master’s study program aims to provide a qualification for the position of an English teacher lower secondary schools, primary schools, and language schools, or alternately as employees in non-teaching positions requiring excellent knowledge of English (such as public administration).

Entrance Exams

There are two entrance exams: a test on the basics of scientific knowledge about humans and an exam on the English language. The percentiles of the applicants in both tests will be used to determine who gets accepted.

The entrance exam on the English language consists of a multiple-choice test on vocabulary, grammar, and text comprehension, as well as a few questions about life and culture in English-speaking countries that will investigate the basic orientation of the applicants.

The required initial level is the level C1 according to the CEFR, which corresponds to advanced or the international exam Certificate of Advanced English (though no certificate can replace the entrance exam).

Expected Entering Level of English

Students are expected to enter the program with a level of English at least at C1 according to the CEFR. This means that students will need to have a high level of fluency in all areas of English. Although there are some Practical Language classes, they will focus especially on classroom English and English for academic purposes and not on general English. Students whose general level is low will need to work on their own or register for optional courses that can help them.

Timetabling

Students may apply for either Daily or Combined studies. Daily students will have classes from Monday to Thursday every week. Combined students will meet once every two weeks (or less often, depending on holidays) on Fridays.
